E-SWARM: Engineering Swarm Intelligence Systems

the development of scientific foundations for the engineering of artificial swarm intelligence systems

the creation of an engineering methodology for the construction of swarm intelligence systems

the development of concrete tools and techniques with which to construct swarm intelligence systems

These activities will be contextualized within a series of challenging case studies that will serve to test the ideas and theory developed in the foundations and methodology activities and that will provide important feedback to the foundations and methodology components.
The main case studies have been chosen in the domains of optimization and robotics.
